(DRB)
Luke
18
:
1
AND he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray, and not to faint,
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
2
Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, nor regarded man.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
3
And there was a certain widow in that city, and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
4
And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard man,
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
5
Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
6
And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
7
And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard?
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
8
I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
9
And to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others, he spoke also this parable:
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
10
Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
11
The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
12
I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
13
And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O god, be merciful to me a sinner.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
14
I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather that the other: because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
15
And they brought unto him also infants, that he might touch them. Which when the disciples saw, they rebuked them.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
16
But Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
17
Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall not enter into it.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
18
And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good master, what shall I do to possess everlasting life?
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
19
And Jesus said to him: Why dost thou call me good? None is good but God alone.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
20
Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Honour thy father and mother.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
21
Who said: All these things have I kept from my youth.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
22
Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee: sell all whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
23
He having heard these things, became sorrowful; for he was very rich.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
24
And Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
25
For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
26
And they that heard it, said: Who then can be saved?
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
27
He said to them: The things that are impossible with men, are possible with God.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
28
Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee.
(DRB)
Luke

29
Who said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
30
Who shall not receive much more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
31
Then Jesus took unto him the twelve, and said to them: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be accomplished which were written by the prophets concerning the Son of man.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
32
For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and scourged, and spit upon:
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
33
And after they have scourged him, they will put him to death; and the third day he shall rise again.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
34
And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them, and they understood not the things that were said.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
35
Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging.
(DRB)

36
And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
37
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
38
And he cried out, saying: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
39
And they that went before, rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me.
(DRB)

40
And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him,
(DRB)

18
:
41
Saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
42
And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.
(DRB)
Luke
18
:
43
And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
